Thanks! It is coming, hopefully this week. I have not felt like I really understood what to do with the cross hatching, so have been doing some extra research. I ran across your crosshatch fish video and some lightbulbs went off watching that one. I am practicing on some small sketches right now, but nothing worthy of posting yet.

Thank you, Nolan. I learned a lot watching your fish video. I haven’t had time until today to take a few hours and draw. You know, I really liked my first teddy bear, but he took over a week to draw being careful about each line. The second one I was more copying your lines than making my own. You made the point a couple of times in your fish video that crosshatch should be quick. I drew the fish with you, then added a second one, in less than two hours. I think I understand it now and will move on to the next, as you suggest. Scribbles look like fun!

So, this morning I drew the outline of a pumpkin 🎃 on my iPad. Then I decided to try out scumbling on it. I found I couldn’t stop with it, so I kept going. There are lots of things wrong with it. For one thing, I did my lighting and shading on the pumpkin and then added a candle light source from a different direction. It’s always something, eh? I had fun doing it and learned a lot while working on it today.
